ufc 203

The Ultimate Fighting Championship held it’s 203rd pay-per-view showing last Saturday night. This card I thought was better than the highly anticipated UFC 200 back in July. Some fights were so so whereas some were cool; overall it turned out to be decent. Here were the fights that I remembered being good.

Bethe Correia defeated Jessica Eye. This was a nice match up as both women are good strikers. The two ladies banged it out for three rounds and Correia gets the split decision win, which I agreed with the judges.

Jimmie Rivera defeated Uriah Faber. I was pulling for Uriah but Rivera had youth on his side and that is what it came down to. Uriah can still fight on a high level but maybe not with the younger cats like Jimmie Rivera.

Mickey Gall defeated CM Punk. This fight I was excited for because I am also a pro wrestling fan. Did I think Punk would win? Nah. Was I hoping he would? Yes. Punk came out fast and Mickey took him down with ease and schooled him. Props to CM Punk for taking a leap of faith.

Fabricio Werdum defeated Travis Browne. This was a sloppy fight to watch. Browne I guess dislocated his finger during the fight and called a timeout? Odd moment. There was no doubt Werdum was going to win this one.

Stipe Miocic defeated Alistair Overeem. The main event for the heavyweight belt. These two big guys slugged it out and it was a back and forth fight. Miocic got Overeem to the ground and tagged him with a few right hands and Stipe retains his UFC belt.
